| Ben64 | can something be done about the huge influx of offtopic banter and trolling recently? | 01:56 |
|---|---|---|
| Ben64 | channel is getting filled with nonsense | 01:57 |
| Ben64 | is anyone around? | 02:32 |
| Ben64 | channel has been being overrun the past day by trolls | 02:33 |
| IdleOne | Ben64: it makes it easier if you're more specific please. | 02:35 |
| IdleOne | We really do appreciate you looking out so please don't get me wrong | 02:35 |
| Ben64 | oh you know, like <symetrik> I meant I was trying to reach #ratherbadOSthatisoverusedbecausepeoplethinkitisgoodforsomethingotherthanmarketingtothelowerIQofourpopulation | 02:36 |
| Ben64 | bin_bash who has been trolling on and off for hours | 02:36 |
| IdleOne | I'm just saying is that we aren't always looking and sometimes it isn't obvious at a glance | 02:36 |
| Ben64 | last night the same few people were coming in and out doing all sorts of stuff | 02:36 |
| IdleOne | seems they have calmed down for now. I'll try to keep a closer eye on the channel | 02:37 |
| bazhang | stuff? | 02:37 |
| bazhang | such as what | 02:37 |
| IdleOne | Again, we do appreciate your helping us | 02:37 |
| Ben64 | Feb 06 2013 05:18:38 <sini>it just won't into facebook and my boyfriend is hella mad about it | 02:38 |
| Ben64 | that went on for a long time last night | 02:38 |
| Ben64 | i know trolling happens, but it's seemed to increase in the past day or so | 02:39 |
| bazhang | did you try to direct them to offtopic channel? | 02:39 |
| Ben64 | oh yes | 02:39 |
| IdleOne | Ben64: sometimes just a nice little "c'mon dude, plese stop" does wonders | 02:39 |
| Ben64 | it wasn't just questions directed at the wrong spot, it had to be intentional | 02:39 |
| Ben64 | Feb 06 2013 04:20:35 <sini>I tried deleting system32 but my computer is still alive? | 02:40 |
| Ben64 | i don't know, just makes it hard to see actual problems when stuff like that is happening | 02:40 |
| IdleOne | clearly appears to be a windows question :) | 02:40 |
| IdleOne | but don't send obvious trolls to other help channels. (Need to say this to make sure we all know it) | 02:41 |
| Ben64 | is it recommended to pop in this channel, or would !ops be better during trolls | 02:42 |
| IdleOne | the osp trigger is really for emergencies, something that needs to be stopped NOW | 02:42 |
| IdleOne | ops* | 02:42 |
| Ben64 | yeah, i usually try to come in here and say something | 02:42 |
| IdleOne | which is fine, just give us a little more detail. The persons nick at the minimum | 02:43 |
| Ben64 | ok got it | 02:43 |
| IdleOne | Thank you | 02:43 |
| bazhang | check out Poolshark_ | 02:45 |
| IdleOne | that question is way out of my league | 02:46 |
| IdleOne | is any of that making any sense? | 02:49 |
| Ben64 | see, stuff like that. where they're talking nonsense to one another, most likely all the same person. bin_bash, PoolShark_, Uuni | 02:50 |
| bazhang | yeppers | 02:50 |
| Ben64 | i've been thinking for a while that PoolShark_ and bin_bash were related | 02:51 |
| Ben64 | oh, and gelph | 02:51 |
| Ben64 | well I wish you luck. looks like tonight may be busy for you all. | 02:55 |
| bazhang | kindred spirits for sure | 02:55 |

| bazhang | lhavelund, wubi not supported? since when | 11:55 |
| lhavelund | wait | 11:55 |
| lhavelund | we support wubi? | 11:55 |
| lhavelund | !wubi | 11:55 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe | 11:55 |
| bazhang | yes... | 11:55 |
| lhavelund | i was under the impression it was not supported | 11:55 |
| lhavelund | my apologies | 11:55 |
| bazhang | not recommended.. | 11:55 |
| lhavelund | fair enough! | 11:55 |
| Myrtti | you can always back out by telling that it's not meant to be a permanent solution | 12:10 |
| bazhang | <anmolsingh> What is the speed of download via torrent? | 12:19 |
| bazhang | 42 parsecs! | 12:19 |
| bazhang | <rootlance> Can i hack facebook with backtrack R53? | 12:27 |

| Fuchs | AlanBell / IdleOne: hlve is forwarding his sillynes from #ubuntu-woman to defocus, it seems he is just up for trolling. | 19:36 |
| AlanBell | yeah, no doubt | 19:36 |
| IdleOne | Started with GeorgeTrowell | 19:36 |
| Fuchs | what a happy bunch of lovely people, then. | 19:36 |
| Fuchs | good luck. | 19:36 |
| IdleOne | Seems to me a network issue, when the network social channel is being used to coordinate and discuss the trolling of another channel. They have all left now. | 19:38 |
| Fuchs | not a network issue, no. Just people being silly. I told them to drop it in #defocus. It was hardly coordinating, more just "oh, we are so cool" | 19:38 |
| IdleOne | Wasn't that big of an issue. thanks for saying something to them in defocus :) | 19:39 |
| Fuchs | you're welcome | 19:40 |
| ubottu | FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (MrSaku appears to be abusive and has been muted, will need to be UNMUTED MANUALLY) | 20:11 |
| Fuchs | do you guys here feel responsible for #ubuntu-devel or should that go to -irc? | 21:52 |
| Fuchs | guys and gals, sorry | 21:52 |
| IdleOne | -irc technically | 21:52 |
| IdleOne | but whats up? | 21:52 |
| Fuchs | I just forwarded a user to ##fix_your_connection because no local ops seemed to be around and users complained to us, | 21:53 |
| Fuchs | he seems to have cycled in other channels as well, where he got forwarded (ev) | 21:53 |
| Fuchs | I am not very familiar with your ban tracker, I commented it in ubottu I think, just wanted to make sure you guys and gals know :) | 21:53 |
| IdleOne | yup, I set the same forward on them in another channel also | 21:54 |
| Fuchs | Yeah, if I see more we might have to look into a different solution, but so far I didn't hear more complaints. | 21:54 |
| Fuchs | This was a jfyi, I assume it has been noticed, then. Have a nice day <3 | 21:54 |
| IdleOne | you too, thanks | 21:55 |
